245 _aSuicide deaths in India: Rethinking mainstream mental health narratives
260 _aEconomic and Political Weekly
300 _a58(51), Dec 23, 2023: p.36-41
520 _aThe narratives on suicide deaths by mainstream mental health systems frame it as an individual problem located within troubled brains and minds without opening up the dynamic between structural violence and lived experiences. The result is the continuous call to upscale access to mental health services to cure sick minds without attending to the sick social structures and systems that create fatal vulnerabilities. A decolonial suicidology is imperative to foreground the lifeworlds of marginalised people like migrant workers who are often targets of the burgeoning mental health industry in the current neo-liberal order.-Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2023/51/insight/suicide-deaths-india.html
